二十九. Dialogue: Where Is My Pet Dog?
(L: Lisa, S: Sam)
L: Ten years ago, I went on a tour to London with my pet dog.
S: Did you have a good time there?
L: Yes. I did. One day, after a tiring tour, I went into a restaurant with my pet dog.?
S: You should feed your dog first, I think.
L: Right, so I signed(打手勢(shì)) a waiter(服務(wù)員）to come over. At that time, I couldn't speak English. So I pointed to the dog and made an“eating”gesture, showing that the dog needed some food.
S: What happened then?
L: The waiter nodded and walked away with my pet dog. I was happy because I made the waiter understand me without any difficulty. But after half an hour, he returned with a plate.
S: What was on the plate?
L: My pet dog! My pet dog was killed and cooked !

對(duì)話(dialogue)：我的寵物狗在哪里？
(L：麗薩Lisa，S：Sam山姆)
L：十年前，我?guī)е业膶櫸?pet)狗去倫敦(London)觀光旅游(tour)。
S：你玩的好(have a good time)嗎？
L：是的，玩的不錯(cuò)。有一天，令人勞累的(tiring)行程結(jié)束后，我?guī)е业墓愤M(jìn)了一家餐館(restaurant)。
S：我覺(jué)得你應(yīng)當(dāng)先喂(feed)你的狗。
L：是的，所以我給服務(wù)員打了個(gè)手勢(shì)。那時(shí)我還不會(huì)說(shuō)英語(yǔ)。因此我指向(point to)我的狗，然后作了一個(gè)“吃”的手勢(shì)(gesture)，表示這只狗需要一些食物。
S：后來(lái)怎么了？
L：那個(gè)服務(wù)員點(diǎn)點(diǎn)頭(nod)就帶著我的狗走開(kāi)了。我很高興因?yàn)槲覜](méi)費(fèi)吹灰之力(without any difficulty)就讓服務(wù)員明白了。但半個(gè)小時(shí)后，他端著個(gè)盤(pán)子(plate)回來(lái)了。
S：盤(pán)子里是什么呀？
L：我的寵物狗！我的寵物狗被殺死烹飪(cook)了！
三十. Why Shouldn't We Smoke?
To begin with, smoking costs a lot of money. Smokers may also have to spend more on medicine and doctor visits.? Another reason not to smoke is that it is bad for people who do not smoke, Secondhand smoke(二手煙) is a serious public health risk. It isn't polite for a person to smoke in front of a nonsmoker. Besides, nonsmokers usually don't like the smell left in rooms, cars, or even on a smoker's clothes!
Most importantly, smoking causes big health problems. For example, smoking makes it harder to breathe if a person has illnesses like asthma (哮喘). Smoking hurts a person's lungs(肺) , causing diseases like cancer, etc.
So if you don't smoke, don't start. If you do smoke, it's time to give it up.
【漢語(yǔ)翻譯】
為什么我們不應(yīng)該吸煙？
首先(be begin with)，吸煙(smoking)花費(fèi)(cost)很多錢(qián)。吸煙者(smoker)可能還要花費(fèi)(spend)更多的錢(qián)買(mǎi)藥、看醫(yī)生。
不吸煙的另一個(gè)理由(reason)是吸煙對(duì)不吸煙者有害。二手煙對(duì)公眾健康來(lái)說(shuō)是一種嚴(yán)重的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)(risk)。在不吸煙者面前(in front of)吸煙是不禮貌的。此外，不吸煙者通常不喜歡房間內(nèi)、汽車(chē)?yán)铩⑸踔潦俏鼰熣咭路系臒熚丁?/span>
最重要的是，吸煙導(dǎo)致(cause)嚴(yán)重的健康問(wèn)題(problem)。例如，吸煙會(huì)讓哮喘等疾病(illness)患者呼吸(breathe)更困難。吸煙傷肺，還會(huì)導(dǎo)致癌癥(cancer)等疾病(disease)。
所以，如果你不吸煙，那就不要開(kāi)始。如果你吸煙，是該戒煙(give up smoking)的時(shí)候了。?
